Big shout out to all Disability Opportunities in Sport UK players and coaches who represented the organisation fantastically this weekend.

Teams from across the country gathered for the Special Olympics Great Britain National Summer Games basketball event. We had players and coaches across 6 teams, representing Team North or Team East Midlands.

Lovely to see so many happy faces, no matter what colour medal they got. Some fantastic basketball, a lot of fun, and we always see so many great people from across the UK who love Inclusive Running Basketball as much as we do!

Looking forward to the new season starting in September 🏀👊

He has recently used his volunteer hours as part of Level 2 Qualification in Community Sports Leadership at school and was proud to show off his certificate before the summer kicked in.

Thank you Ben! We cannot wait to have you back after the summer.
